macOS - Sophos Endpoint Protection - Real-time protection deactivated

Patrice Großkreuz

Hello,


I have a Macbook Pro (2019 Intel) with macOS 14.6.1 (Build23G93) with Sophos Endpoint 2024.2.0.35 in Sophos Central.
On this endpoint, real-time protection is deactivated from time to time, without any influences.

So far, a scan or an update of the agent has solved the problem and I have received a message in the events that real-time protection has been reactivated. But a day later it is deactivated again. Reinstalling Sophos Endpoint did not solve the problem either. The default policies were used in Sophos Endpoint and no adjustments were made.

I would like to ask if anyone knows of similar behaviour and has a solution.

Many thanks in advance.
With kind regards
Patrice

    I would also like to ask if anyone knows the service at Macos that is responsible for real-time protection. I would like to restart/check whether it is running.

    Hi Patrice,

    Thanks for reaching out to the Sophos Community Forum. 

    When the system shows real-time protection deactivated, could you check the Sophos Endpoint Self Help tool on the device? 

    I am curious to find out what is displayed in the "Service" and "Prerequisites" tab. The Real-time protection status will change when the "Sophos Scan Extension" is experiencing issues. 

     I suggest trying to run the following command in the terminal as well to see if the system extension for Sophos shows anything other than "activated enabled"
